New High School May Spark Westside Improvement

The Westside Improvement Concept covers an area bounded by South City Center Parkway, South Tulip Street, Ninth Ave, and Second Avenue. The area has substantial area ready for revitalization. The initial economic engine to spark the Westside Improvement Concept may be a new 50-acre high school. The Westside Improvement Concept may be population neutral by replacing existing single family housing with higher density housing surrounding the new high school, in accordance with existing zoning designations. The Westside Improvement Concept may work around or move existing commercial, industrial, and railroad operations. It may be advantageous to move some of such operations to other parts of the city or area.


The blue and purple dotted lines show possible outlines for the new high school campus. The 50 acre campus would need about 11 blocks.
